Temperature & String Tension?

How much do you adjust your string tension during the winter months? My regular tension is 52/48 for gut/poly hybird during the warmer months in a Prestige-IG Pro. Pacific Classic Gut/ Signum Pro Tornado or Hyperion as a hybird. Would dropping 2lbs. in the mains and crosses be enough. Thanks....

Playing indoors during the winter, should I still lower my tensions from my summer tension? Honestly, I'm losing track of what of what my summer vs. winter tension is since I've been trying so many different setups.

Living in SoCal, temps drop from the 80s-90s in the early Fall to the 50s-60s in the Winter - certainly, I don't imagine a lot of players are out there playing when in the 40s or the snow, but I am sure there are.

That said, in temps in the 50s-mid60s I drop my tension a 2-4 lbs. As the temps rise, so does my tension.

Big Kahuna- I play the Head-Prestige IG Pro and use your recommended tension of 52/48 during the summer months, plays great. A few days ago had a few racquets strung up @50/46 with the weather @50*. Currently using Pacific-Classic Gut/ Signum Pro- Hyperion, wasn't to fond of Co-Focus. Thanks.........PS-I reside in Nothern California.

I increase tension in the winter for greater control. I play on indoor HC and the groundstrokes/serves come a lot faster indoors so less power helps. Outdoors you have wind and other conditions that slow down the pace of shots.

my racquet's tension recommendation is 55 to 60.......the stringer said if the string isn't nylon then you can string it higher or lower than that..is that true? if it is true then how much higher/lower can you string it? my string is yonex poly tour spin
